Individual lessons are the core business of the Upper Hunter Conservatorium. Lessons are conducted with one of our experienced staff members. Lessons are available after school at the Conservatorium buildings in Muswellbrook and Singleton. The Conservatorium also provides lessons during school hours at various schools throughout the region. Lessons are available in 20, 30, 45 and 60 minute durations, depending upon the teacher’s availability. Shared lessons are also available for groups of up to four students.
Highlights of the Conservatorium calendar are student recitals. All students are given the opportunity to perform at one of our end-of-semester student recitals. For those students who do not have access to an instrument the Conservatorium has a number of instruments available for hire.
